Two seas. Both in Israel. One - the Galilee - is teeming with life, surrounded by fishing villages and farms.
The other - the Dead Sea - lives up to its name. There is salt residue on the shore, stuck to the rocks. Salt from which the seawater has evaporated. Nothing can live in that concentration of salt. A tourist trade is all that can be produced in its jagged coastline and briny waters.
Both seas get the same amount of rain in that Mediterranean climate.
The reason why the Galilee lives and the Dead Sea doesn't ... is because the Galilee has an outflow (the Jordan River) and the Dead Sea doesn't. In other words, the Galilee gives and the Dead Sea takes.
Giving, generosity, graciousness, thankfulness, abundance, joy - or taking, complaining, reducing, stinginess, misery.
You see - God doesn't need words to get His message across.If we listen.
